The finest ingredients in the world
Nandaka is crafted from the absolute highest quality ceremonial cacao, wild-mimicking functional mushrooms, fermented Pu’er tea from 250 year old tea trees, and Ayurvedic warming spices. A new standard of excellence is defined.
Daily essential phytocompounds
Functional mushrooms support immune function and longevity. Cacao activates healthy metabolism. Fermented Pu’er tea promotes healthy gut flora and provides calm, sustained energy. These broad spectrum adaptogenic compounds and their concentrated extracts enhance and regulate mood.
Naturally occurring lipid-based delivery system
Our cacao powder retains unprecedented levels of up to 30% cacao butter – the first to retain such a high naturally occurring fat content. Cacao butter is not only a highly beneficial compound that is part of the cacao bean, but also serves as an ideal lipid-based delivery system for the phytocompounds in Nandaka, maximizing their bioavailability and potential.
Powerful and bioactive functional mushroom blend
We use both the powder and water-extractions of only the fruiting bodies of proven functional mushrooms. As a result, Nandaka is completely free of mycelium and myceliated growth substrates and grains. Our formulation also over-indexes on the most valuable functional mushroom, reishi, and includes one of its most precious compounds – reishi spore powder.
Perfect energy source
The energy system in Nandaka is provided by a blend of our proprietary Black and Green Fermented Pu’er Tea Crystals crafted via Pique’s patented Cold Extraction TechnologyTM. This blend delivers a powerful cocktail of green tea catechins, black tea theaflavins, l-theanine, caffeine, and pre-, pro- and post-biotics.
Ingredient Breakdown
Ceremonial Cacao
Ceremonial-grade cacao is sourced exclusively from Incan and Pre-Incan varietals of Peru, predominantly using Chuncho cacao that grows natively in the highlands of the Andes. No other cacao grows at such a high altitude, resulting in more cacao butter in the bean and one of the most complex and concentrated phytochemical and flavor profiles. Domesticated by the Machiguenga people, ancestral inhabitants of this region, this cacao is fermented in Tornillo sweet wooden boxes in its native habitat.
Functional Mushroom Blend
Our functional mushroom blend is meticulously sourced by some of the finest growers in the world. The reishi in Nandaka is cultivated in wild-mimicking environments in the pristine Wuyi Mountains of China, where reishi has thrived in the wild for millennia. In an area three times the size of New York City with over 90% tree coverage, our reishi are fed by pure mountain spring water. One single reishi mushroom grows on a large native log to maximize nutrient availability – essential for the robust production of beta-glucans, triterpenes, and polysaccharides.
Fermented Pu’er Tea
Fermented Pu’er tea is harvested from wild-arbor 250-year-old tea trees growing in the foothills of the Himalayan mountain ranges of Yunnan, China. Wild-arbor tea grows in perfectly balanced and symbiotic ecologies without human interference – absent of trimming, organic or synthetic additives, and watering. All plant and animal life thrive naturally, producing vibrant microbial biodiversity in the soil. Our tea leaves ferment naturally from an abundance of native, primordial microbes, resulting in a probiotic tea that helps soothe and optimize gut microbes.

Absolutely. Male hormonal balance is an emergent topic in men’s health with vast potential implications on longevity and immunity. Every ingredient in Nandaka, without exception, is beneficial for men’s health and performance.
Nandaka is completely free of mycelium and myceliated growth substrates and grains. Nandaka over-indexes on the most precious of functional mushrooms, reishi, and includes one of its most powerful compounds – reishi spore powder.
Nandaka has a rich, artisanal taste – effortlessly rich and subtly spiced with a high naturally-occuring fat content from the cacao butter for a smooth mouthfeel. So, you’ll get a craft coffee-like taste with a base of rich cacao and notes of lychee, wild flower, cherry, and creme.
We use both the powder and concentrated extracts of only the fruiting bodies of proven functional mushrooms known to modulate the stress response to support hormone balance, and support immune function and longevity. As a result, Nandaka is completely free of mycelium and myceliated growth substrates and grains.

Yes. Cocoa is generally highly processed and packed with sugar and milk powders to strip it of any bitterness and add a sweet, traditionally-hot cocoa taste. Cacao, on the other hand, is naturally one of the richest sources of polyphenols in the human diet and has the highest flavonoid content per-weight than any other food. As a true unprocessed whole food, your body can easily recognize and assimilate precious vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Nandaka is slightly sweet because of a small amount of Lucuma powder, a fruit nicknamed “gold of the Incas” due to its array of vitamins and minerals. Lucuma is high in fiber and low in sugar, resulting in zero added sugars, while still providing a subtly sweet taste.
Yes, every ingredient in Nandaka is organic.
Yes, every ingredient in Nandaka is non-GMO.
Nandaka is 100% vegan.
Every sachet of Nandaka contains 82 mg of slow-release caffeine from organic probiotic green and black teas.
As with all teas and supplements, we recommend always consulting with your physician or other medical expert before use.
The mushroom powders and extracts in Nandaka are considered functional mushrooms distinct from psychoactive mushrooms and have incredible medicinal properties that support everything from metabolic and cognitive support to hormone regulation and immune support. None of our mushrooms have psychedelic properties and they will never make you “trip.”
